9st 4lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Has very low mileage for an 8yo and has Flat form figures of 221 since the tongue-tie went on; unraced over this far but he looks all about stamina, having finished second in an Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f) and one better in last month's Chester Cup (2m2f, good; has run well on faster); that latest race went like clockwork from his low stall but he seems very uncomplicated, and this was nominated as his next target straight after that win; big player.

One of three runners for the yard; lightly raced 8yo who was second in the 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch in 2024 and also in non-handicaps over 10.5f and 1m6f on his latest two starts this year; will probably be in good form but needs a career best.

Second runner for yard; three-time Flat winner was second in the 2024 Irish Cesarewitch; has had his issues since but despite being very weak in the betting, ran a lovely second at Dundalk in February (ahead of Dallas Star); entitled to improve but unproven on soft.
